This past summer, the Elemental Awareness Foundation sent 35 kids up to Element YMCA Skate Camp for a week in the woods.  While there, they got to skate and learn about the environment through the Elemental Awareness wilderness education program.  “EA” is committed to promoting environmental stewardship and social consciousness through their programs.  Camp enrollment is now open for the summer of 2012.  Click here for more details about how you can sign up for camp.  To see photos from camp, click here.
